Live interview of Jordi Boggiano
summary
Live interview covers concrete outcomes not slogans: Composer v2 alpha with deduplicated JSON metadata that cuts network and memory costs, splits dev vs release metadata for better caching, and promises much faster, more deterministic installs; infrastructure runs on AWS plus OVH and CDN mirrors with around five public mirrors and package hosting costs a real consideration; sustainability comes from private packages funding making maintenance paid work; lots of plugins still need updates, testing volunteers are asked and the alpha is available via self-update --preview.
